Herbert Can Be Ever Ready

Charlotte had been dreaming of the day that she could actually sit in a Broadway theatre and enjoy in person one of the great world musical events. This dream has been with her for the last twenty years. It originated when she was five saw a production of The Wizard of Oz at their town community center. There at that performance a love was sprung from this small child for musical theatre. She didn’t quite realize what that meant but for two years she repeated sang the tunes from that show and the words off to see the wizard rang throughout the house.

For the next fifteen years Charlotte imagined that one day she would be performing on the Broadway stage. However, as she continued to mature emotionally and intellectually, she began to realize that she had an extreme case of stage fright and simply dreaded getting onstage. This first struck her in high school and it was the first time that her dreams met the real world and she was crushed by the revelation. Charlotte could not bare to stand on the stage to perform, though she still loved it more than anything. During this transition, she remembered that one of the things that struck her most about that production of the Wizard of Oz so many years ago was the great costumes she saw. This led her to think that perhaps she was more suited to be a costume designer, and suddenly a new world opened up and Charlotte realized what her true passion was.

However, that did not change the fact that she still longed to sit in a New York theatre and see up close and personal a Broadway musical. But instead of imagining herself to one day be up on that stage, she imagined herself designing the costumes for the production. So, when she graduated from college with her degree in theatre and an emphasis in costume design, her parents gave her a couple of New York Broadway tickets to the Lion King as a gift. Charlotte could not have been more pleased and beamed as she sat there fascinated by the Disney production and the costumes and wondered how she would have designed them herself.
